The Colonels pushed one run across in the bottom of the third inning to take a 4-0 lead when Comer scored on a wild pitch after leading off the inning with a walk.

The Jags cut the NSU lead in half in the top of the fourth inning. Sean Laird led off the inning with a single, and Brent Tanner followed with a walk. Brown then doubled to center field to score Laird and Tanner and cut the NSU lead to 4-2. Reynolds followed with a two-run inside-the-park home run to center field, scoring Brown from second, to tie the game 4-4.

South Alabama took its first lead of the game in the top of the seventh inning when Heisler singled, stole second, and later scored on Grichor's ground out to the pitcher.

Nicholls State tied the game 5-5 in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI single through the right side of the infield by Jaramillo that scored pinch-runner Tristan Rogers from second base.
